<p>Hi, wow,it's been a while since I've posted here. At first it was very unintentional, I was away for a while celebrating my Nan's 80th and My dad's 60th Birthday and my Mom and dad's 25th Anniversary and my Aunt's 50th Birthday and I got back about a week ago, and before that Barbados lost power for about a day because a monkey messed up and got caught in our main electrical cables (I'm not joking) and caused a black-out over the entire island. It's stuff like that that make me realise how small Barbados is, a small monkey caused a blackout everywhere...but needless to say the monkey is fine (which is good :-) )....but that power outage messed up my internet for about a week which wasn't fun..lol.
But honestly, in the past week not posting here was very intentional, I've been coming and reading posts but couldn't strike up the courage to myself post, I'm not quite sure why, but I didn't feel ready (which sounds weird) but I just didn't. But I wanted to thank everybody for their private messages :-) inquiring how I was and wanting to know if everything was ok...thank you! :-)</p>
<p>I decided to start a new thread just incase anybody may have any questions for me, I didn't want my posts to take up another thread like I had done before. But I know alot of people are going through the whole audition process, and if anybody has ANY questions whatsoever, feel free to e-mail or pm me. For me, last year I know what it is like to go through it alone, so if anybody has any questions please feel free to ask. I got some e-mails from people who said they had found my blog about unifieds useful for them, and that made me feel warm inside :-), knowing that I could maybe make this process a bit easier for someone else :-).</p>
<p>And Carnegie Mellon has started again, oh wow, thats really exciting. How did a year go by so fast? I'm really happy for everyone going this year...boy your going to have a great time! and I hope alot of kids decide to audition for Augusto Boal, it is such a great theatre company and you learn so much. Jill Wadsworth an Acting Teacher at CMU and also the head of Augusto Boal three weeks ago asked me to come down and help the kids this summer, with teaching them Augusto Boal, a great offer, but I'm not able to, too much money....but she told me what she has planned for them and it sounds amazing, I really wish I could be there. I hope everyone that goes has a great summer and hold the friendships that you get there close to their heart...because those are some lifelong friends. :-).</p>
<p>I have made my final decision about school, it was made only two weeks ago, lol. I have decided with Indiana University, and actually, I think it is the best decision I could of ever made....God really does work in mysterious ways. I am so happy, I can not even begin to explain, with this decision, so happy. I got into do the BA in Theatre and I have already organised with teachers in Jacobs School of Music to do private voice lessons, music theory lessons, private piano lessons, Ballet and Jazz dance classes and the head of the Musical Theatre department to do the Musical Theatre workshops, Acting Major classes, The Showcase (which i have to audition for) and plus I am also able to do Pre-Med...lol (that's alot). I am still trying to organise more classes because I want to get as much Musical Theatre training as possible, but all the teachers have e-mailed me and they are so amazing. One teacher just e-mailed me and asked me to join the International Vocational Ensemble, and she wants me to teach the group songs from Barbados..which i am so thrilled for..lol :-). George Pinney, the head of MT told me to meet him in his office the first week so that he can help me get as much MT training as possible, he said he was going to try and find a private coach to suit me and he asked me to sign up to audition on the first day of classes for the Fall Musical, Suessical.
This year for me is going to be hard and so out of the ordinary for me, but because of that I am so excited.</p>
<p>Also, what alot of people may not know about me is that I love Musical Theatre and all and I me a very academic person- i love medicine, but what I also want to be...is a great humanitarian. If somebody asked me what my one goal is, I would answer ' To change the world and make it a better place'. It has always always been in my heart to help others....and I find we see it all the time, it is always shown on TV, pictures and videos of people suffering and everybody always says that its horrible and that something should be done about it...but they assume somebody else will solve the problem...and its not goin to work like that. I honestly want to be able to say that poverty was erased in my lifetime. It hurts and touches me a great deal to see people suffer, when i know that there is enough money and food on this earth to help everybody. So I want to help, I really want to make a difference.....I will make a difference. I have already searched countless number of clubs at Indiana for charities and Activism and I'm trying to find a way to see if I can go away next summer to Africa and help, I'm going to also try to get a job on campus and raise money. I want to help...there are so many children suffering, especially in Africa....no child should have to suffer, it's not fair, it's not right, I want to change that and it looks like Indiana has alot of outlets to let me get there :-)</p>
<p>Wow, I've gone in deep, lol...sorry. I basically want to say thank you to everyone here for helping me, thank you so much, and I'm just so happy that God has blessed me in more ways than I can even imagine. I was planning to reaudition next year....but I'm not even sure I still want to...if I reaudition it might only be for one school, but right now, there is no other school I would prefer to be at and I'm just so happy, so happy that it all worked out like this.</p>
<p>So thank you guys and if anybody auditioning this year or next year has any questions for me, feel free to ask :-)
Byeeeee
Kay</p>
<p>Thank you for everything :-)</p>
